Understanding the SWAT Health Index
When you download the Recommendations Report from the SWAT Dashboard, the PDF includes a Site Wide Analysis Tool Health Index score in the Introduction section:
The SWAT Health Index helps you monitor and improve your Adobe Commerce site’s overall health. This score is a guidance tool, not an absolute pass-or-fail measure.
What is the Health Index?
The Site Wide Analysis Tool Health Index consolidates automated site checks into a single score from 0 (least healthy) to 1 (most healthy). The checks include:
- Security assessments
- Performance analysis
- Best practice evaluations
- Availability monitoring
Use the Health Index to:
- Quickly assess your site’s general health
- Identify improvement area
- Track progress over time as you address issues
Health Index limitations
Keep these important limitations in mind:
- Not binding: No contractual or support consequences are tied to your score
- Not a compliance guarantee: A high score does not indicate that your site is completely risk-free or compliant with all industry standards
- May not reflect all changes: Due to technical limitations, some fixes (patches, configurations) might not be detected immediately
How to use your Health Index score
Use the Health Index as guidance for:
- Continuous improvement: Strive to improve your score, but don’t interpret a lower score as failure.
- Prioritize efforts: Use specific SWAT recommendations to guide your technical work.
- Document remediation: If you’ve fixed an issue but the Health Index hasn’t updated, document your actions and consult Adobe Support if needed.
- Regular reviews: Periodically check your Health Index to monitor trends and identify new issues.
- Holistic view: Combine the Health Index with other monitoring tools for a comprehensive understanding of your site’s health.
- Seek expert advice: For complex issues, consult Adobe Support or a qualified developer.
- Stay informed: Keep up with Adobe Commerce updates and best practices to maintain a healthy site.
